DMCA Counter-Notification

If access on the Breakthrough Sites to a work that you submitted to Breakthrough is disabled or the work is removed as a result of a DMCA copyright infringement notice, and you believe in good faith that the allegedly infringing works have been removed or blocked by mistake or misidentification, then you may send a “Counter-Notification” to the email address listed above. Your DMCA Counter-Notification should contain the following information:

a legend or subject line that says: “DMCA Counter-Notification”;

a description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (please include the full URL of the page(s) on the Breakthrough Sites from which the material was removed or access to it disabled);

Receipt of DMCA Counter-Notification

If we receive a DMCA Counter-Notification, then we may replace the material that we removed (or stop disabling access to it) in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the DMCA Counter-Notification. However, we will not do this if we first receive notice at the address above that the party who sent us the DMCA copyright infringement notice has filed a lawsuit asking a court for an order restraining the person who provided the material from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Breakthrough Sites. Upon our receipt of a Counter-Notification that satisfies the requirements of DMCA, we will provide a copy of the counter notification to the person who sent the original notification of claimed infringement and will follow the DMCA's procedures regarding counter notification. All Counter-Notifications must satisfy the requirements of Section 512(g)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act.

  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION

Certain portions of this Section 13 are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Breakthrough agree that we intend that this Section 13 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section 13 can only be amended by our mutual agreement.

 

A. Binding Arbitration

You and Breakthrough agree that ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES, ALLEGATIONS, OR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE BREAKTHROUGH SITES, THE CONTENT, YOUR USER CONTRIBUTIONS, THESE TERMS, ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, INCLUDING THE DETERMINATION OF THE SCOPE OR APPLICABILITY OF THE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE DATE OF ACCRUAL OF SUCH DISPUTE (COLLECTIVELY “DISPUTE”), ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND BREAKTHROUGH (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT – INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT, OR NEGLIGENCE, COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY), WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT, BREAKTHROUGH SITES OR ADVERTISING CONNECTED TO THE PROVISION OR USE OF THE BREAKTHROUGH SITES. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between Breakthrough and you regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Breakthrough Sites. Breakthrough and you agree, however, that New York or federal law shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and Breakthrough, whether arising under or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to California’s choice of law principles that might apply other states’ laws. Disputes will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If you initiate arbitration proceedings by filing a Demand for Arbitration with the AAA, you must send a copy of such Demand to Breakthrough at 4 West 43rd Street, Suite 715 New York, NY 10036.  If a party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for formal arbitration and the AAA is unwilling or unable to schedule a hearing then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) using JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and an officer or legal representative of Breakthrough consent to in writing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted in the “metropolitan statistical area” (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you are a resident at the time the Dispute is submitted to arbitration. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require Breakthrough to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 13 to be enforceable, then Breakthrough will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms and any Additional Terms, will be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, will determine any Dispute according to the applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis. Subject only to the limited exceptions expressly set forth in this Section 13, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court, agency or other authority, will have the exclusive authority to resolve any and all Disputes, including issues relating to the scope, interpretation, applicability and enforceability of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Breakthrough Sites. The agreement to arbitrate shall survive termination of these Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any part of the agreement to arbitrate is deemed invalid or inapplicable, the remainder of the agreement to arbitrate shall still be considered valid and enforceable. If any part of this agreement to arbitrate is deemed invalid or inapplicable, you and Breakthrough waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any claims to recover punitive or exemplary damages and any right to pursue any claims on a class, mass, consolidated, or combined basis.

 

B. Limited Time to File Claims

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND BREAKTHROUGH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS (INCLUDING BREAKTHROUGH’S PRIVACY POLICY), THE ADDITIONAL TERMS, OR THE USE OF THE SITES MUST BE ASSERTED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES IRRESPECTIVE OF THE VENUE IN WHICH SUCH DISPUTE AROSE.

 

C. Injunctive Relief.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 13 will not apply to any legal action taken by Breakthrough to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Site, any Content, your User Contributions and/or Breakthrough’s intellectual property rights (including those which Breakthrough may claim are subject to a dispute), Breakthrough’s operations, and/or Breakthrough’s products or services.

 

D. No Class Action Matters.

Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. YOU AND BREAKTHROUGH AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought to a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement in Section 13.A to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to Section 13.E. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation, application and enforceability of this Section 13.D, including the class action waiver provisions contained herein, are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator.

 

E. Federal and State Courts in New York, New York.

Except to the extent that arbitration is required in Section 13.B, and except as to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute may only be instituted in state or Federal court in New York City, New York County, New York. Accordingly, you and Breakthrough consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.

 

F. Small Claims Matters Are Excluded From Arbitration Requirement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring a qualifying claim of Disputes in small claims court, subject to Section 13.E.

There are no third-party beneficiaries of the agreement.

 

  1. Miscellaneous

No waiver by Breakthrough of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provisions of the Terms. The headings and captions in these Terms are intended for convenience only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of the Terms.
